| Processor Type <strong> Processor technology </strong> Processor also regarded as the brainchild of a computing system {as the CPU acronym literally translates} is responsible for instruction execution, core system calculations, and system efficiency. Chromebooks typically use power saving chipsets from the likes of Intel, AMD, and ARM-based units while Chromebases and Chromeboxes tend to feature higher-end systems on a chip. | Intel Celeron Intel Core |
| Processor Speed The processor speed is the default clock speed of the chipset powering the device | 2.1 GHz 2.3 GHz |
| Processor Boost the highest frequency the processor can reach when maxed out. Maxed out the sense of the number of processes or programs running before it hits its maximum clock speed. | up to 2.4 GHz upto 2.9 GHz |
| Processor Cores This refers to the stack of physical cores (multiple independent processing units) on a chipset. It's usually the more the better, but that isn't always true considering that the individual clock speed of processing cores can be a huge factor in determining the overall capability of a processor unit. | Dual Core Dual Core |
| Processor Cache A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. A cache is a smaller, faster memory, closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations. | 1 MB 3 MB |
| Processor Model The processor model refers to the unique identifying combination of numbers, letters or both that of a chipset as defined by the manufacturer from the factory. | Intel Celeron N2840 Intel Core i5 5300U |
| Cooling This refers to the means through which the central processing unit of a computer is cooled. An actively cooled chipset requires a fan that intelligently spins on demand while passively cooled SoCs (systems on a chip) are typically of a lower TDP (thermal design power) which essentially negates the need of a dedicated cooling fan. | Passive (fanless) Passive (fanless) |
Memory

| Display Type <strong>Display technology </strong> A number of display technologies exist and currently, LCD is the primary type used in Chromebooks. TFT (Thin Film Transistor), IPS (In-Place Switching), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), Super AMOLED (an even advanced version of AMOLED), Resistive Touchscreen (Resistive touchscreens contain two layers of conductive material with a very small gap between them which acts as a resistance), Capacitive Touchscreen (Capacitive touchscreen technology consists of a layer of glass coated with a transparent conductor). | LCD LCD |
| Display size This refers to the diagonal size of the display in inches | 13.3 inches 13.3 inches |
| Resolution The display resolution or display modes of digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. | 1366x768 HD 1920x1080 FHD |
| Touchscreen Refers to whether the display is equipped with the technology needed for touch sensitivity and response. | |
| IPS IPS (in-plane switching) is a screen technology for liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). In-plane switching involves arranging and switching the orientation of the molecules of the liquid crystal (LC) layer between the glass substrates. This is done, essentially, parallel to these glass plates. |
Graphics
|
|
| GPU <strong>GPU</strong> (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Intel HD Graphics 5500 |
| GPU Memory In computer architecture, there's either dedicated or shared memory and sometimes both. Chrome OS devices primarily utilized shared graphics memory. Shared graphics memory refers to a design where the graphics chip does not have its own dedicated memory and instead shares the main system RAM with the CPU and other components. | Shared Shared |
| Base Clock The refers to the base clock speed of the GPU | 311 MHz 300 MHz |
Connectivity
|
|
| Bluetooth <strong>Bluetooth</strong> is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | |
| HDMI <strong>HDMI</strong> (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from a HDMI-compliant source device to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device. | |
| Ethernet Port Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). | |
